Had a look at your boat refurbishment pics. Did you put some antichafe
(?slit PVC tube) around were that red rubber pipe passes through the
black metal hole?

It's hi temp tubing with a braided polyester core, it's tough stuff but
the answer is yes, there is a layer of insulation which will protect it
at this point.

At this point the system is almost ready to test but the final prettying
up still has to be done. I want to see it working first.

... Is the fuel line armored pipe?

I'm not sure what you mean by "armored pipe," it's another specialized
type of flex hose. It is made for diesel fuel and is fire retardant with
a braided steel reinforcing layer. The reason it is there, instead of
smaller diameter marine fuel hose, is that Agri-Supply sells this stuff
for $12 a coil (about 15' with end fittings) whereas 3/8ID marine fuel
hose is over $2/ft



Looking at your big bottom job, I have heard of titanium/boron coatings
as barrier coats for metal corrosion inhibition


??? the stuff is a conductor. Boron is sometimes used as dope for
semiconductors

... but not for osmosis
treatment. Can you give me a reference for this -if it's good stuff I'll
pass it on to the local osmosis peel people. How much per gallon is it?

Well a number of people we know have used it on blistered boats and said
it was good stuff. What do you want for references? The type we used is
Interlux 2000E and it's about $70 gal unless you are a good bargain hunter.
